Iranian officials Sunday described President Trump's decision to appoint John Bolton national security adviser as shameful and a sign that Washington intends to overthrow the Tehran theocracy. Mofaz mentioned Bolton as he participated in a panel that included three other former IDF chiefs of staff.

Bolton has also publicly defended the option of a pre-emptive strike against North Korea's nuclear arsenal.
